Kia Ora! My name is Marianna, and I am so excited to provide an array of convenient pet services for pet parents like you, based here on the Hibiscus Coast! My many years of experience with caring for animals begins back in middle school, when I dipped my toes into the animal care field, and was lucky enough to be offered a volunteer position at my local vet clinic. Fast forward to now, with 5 years of professional veterinary experience under my belt, and an only stronger, even more passionate love for all animals, big and small, I decided to delve into offering individual pet services to make people's (and pet's!) lives easier, all whilst supporting me while I study at university. At my local vet clinic, I have been caring for boarding cats staying over at their facilities during weekends and public holidays since I was in high school, and am confident in delivering medication too, so if that's what your furbaby requires, I will ensure it is done. I cater to an extensive range of cat personalities, and have a knack for tuning in to the emotions and energies our pets are carrying, so if your sweet puss is a spicy firework trapped inside a cat's body, or simply a little shy, I am confident they will feel at ease very quickly. I have quite a lot of experience in walking dogs - from hospital patients, to elderly dogs, to regular pooches including energetic puppies - and enjoy the open, fresh air just as much as your furbaby, so no bare-minimum round-the-block walks from me! I myself have two cats and two rabbits, who I love to the moon and back, but sometimes take in sick, injured, or homeless animals if they stumble along my path. I am a punctual, organized, and trustworthy person, who genuinely cares about the health and wellbeing of your little companion. Many professional referees have quoted that I show initiative daily, and have excellent work ethic. If I could, I'd take home all the animals in need, but alas, my home can only fit so much! With an open heart and confidence in all aspects cat, dog, and rabbit-related, I'd be honoured to get to know you and establish a beautiful bond with your animal. My values and standards: --> Kindness, patience, and honest care --> Daily photo/video/written updates via Whatsapp or Messenger --> Engaging, extensive walking routes that rotate, to keep your pup immersed --> Fast pace, slow pace, 'sniff-walks' - completely personalized to your dog --> Regard for disabilities, illnesses, or injuries; I love them all, equally, with an open heart. If this sounds like your jam, you are more than welcome to get in touch 🐾
